Dear Pat: A group of friends and I had brunch recently at Pomegranate, a restaurant in Artisan's Alley. We loved the ambiance, and the food was excellent — so fresh and tasty. I ordered the Pomegranate Frittata that was filled that day with zucchini and yellow squash, red onion and tomato, and it was so good, I'd love to try my hand at making it at home. Could you please ask the chef if she will share?

Dear Roxanne: Chef/proprietor of The Pomegranate, Nancy Fitch (also of Peach Café in Boerne), presents this delicious Pomegranate Frittata as a special at her Sunday Brunch, which she serves from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.

Essentially, frittatas are crustless quiches, egg-based with milk or cream and cheese and gussied up with just about any vegetable you like. Fitch's recipe uses zucchini and yellow squash along with red onion and tomato, a delightful vegetarian combination. It has a light and airy texture, and mild, delicate flavors. Punch it up if you like with a few spoonfuls of salsa for a more assertive “San Antonio” taste.

Brunch is a wonderful meal — a meal to linger over and recharge your energy for the coming week. You'll feel totally relaxed if you start your meal with Pomegranate's Endless Mimosa, then move on to any one of Fitch's inspired array of dishes, including Belgium waffles with whipped cream and berries, potato pancakes served with smoked salmon, poached eggs and chive crème fraîche, or crab cakes with curried cream sauce and tomato chutney. Fresh blueberry pancakes and traditional Eggs Benedict are on the menu too. Each Sunday, a special frittata is served, and this one will be served all through May.

During the week, you can check out Pomegranate's comfortable contemporary space where diners can enjoy salads, soups, quiches, crab cakes, sandwiches, including panini, and a wide beautiful array of housemade desserts. Vegetarians will find lots to choose from, and meat eaters will love the likes of pulled pork, roast beef, and Reuben sandwiches — all prepared with Fitch's special touch. Lunch is served from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m..
